Install DCC Add-ons

DuME comes with a few Digital Content Creation add-ons to enable some useful features related to DuME in some of your apps.

After Effects

The DuME add-on for After Effects is provided as two simple scripts.

To install it, first unzip the files.

• The DuME_sendComp.jsx script is a headless (i.e. without UI) script to send the current composition to DuME with the default settings. Once installed, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to this script from the After Effects keyboard shortcut editor.
• The ScriptUI Panels/DuME.jsx script is a standard After Effects panel to help you set DuME settings and send compositions to DuME with a nice graphical user interface.

Read the After Effects & DuME guide to learn what you can do with the DuME for After Effects scripts.

For all users

To install DuME for all users, you’ll need admin rights on the computer. Merge the Scripts folder with the After Effects scripts location.

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\After Effects 20XX\Support Files\Scripts
• Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects 20XX/Scripts

Then, restart After Effects.

For the current user

To use DuME without admin rights, you can either:

• install the two scripts from within After Effects using the
  File/Scritps/Install Script... and File/Scritps/Install ScriptUI Panel... menus
  and restart After Effects.
• or you can just run the scripts without installing them using the
  File/Scritps/Run script file... menu entry.

Blender

The DuME for Blender add-on is installed as any other Blender Add-on: from the Add-ons tab in the preferences, select Install from disk... and pick the .zip archive you’ve downloaded.
